Rachel Lowe Lambert Mellon, better known as Bunny Mellon, is the 101-year-old widow of banking legend Paul Mellon and one of the wealthiest women in the U.S.

She has tried to live her life outside the public eye, but that hasn't always been easy for a woman of such considerable means.

The home has two master suites and flower gardens designed by Mellon, a noted horticulturalist who designed the White House Rose Garden.

Mellon reportedly owns property in Nantucket as well. But we couldn't find any details about the property, or whether it had been sold.

Another piece of Mellon real estate history also hit the market recently. A Washington DC townhouse where Mellon never lived, but for decades kept part of her extensive art collection, was recently listed for $20 million.
